Mediospirifer Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'll bet Witmer has the equipment to scan your fossil and produce a "paper cast" of it for you to keep - it may not be feasable to do a standard mold and cast - which would likely destroy the bone bits still present. If they can scan it for a paper cast, the scan file could probably be adapted to make a 3D printer model, too. I've seen some plastic models from those that are pretty good, though not perfect. I'm sure a high-quality machine could do better! Congratulations, again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auximenes Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Very good move in giving the fossil up for study rather that trying to turn it into $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
